Summary:

Each year in the United States, more than 3 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI), at a dollar cost exceeding $48 billion. Yet media and policy makers have largely ignored this major public health problem-and most clinicians lack experience in treating and evaluating patients with TBI and thus are unaware of its many subtle but disabling psychiatric symptoms.

This critically important textbook-the timely successor to the popular 1994 compilation by the same editors-fills that void, providing a wealth of scientific, yet easy-to-understand information, from both research and clinical practice, on the complex neuropsychiatric sequelae of TBI.

Extensively updated and expanded by recognized experts, this comprehensive textbook contains 40 chapters, including 15 new for this edition, and more than 100 informative figures and illustrations. New chapters address structural and functional imaging, electrophysiologic techniques, neuropsychological assessment, social issues, systems of care, and treatment modalities, including alternative therapies. Expanded chapters discuss the multiple neuropsychiatric sequelae not encompassed by the usual psychiatric syndromes, including apathy, reduced awareness of deficits, fatigue, pain, headaches, balance problems, visual difficulties, and sports injuries.

This practical, deeply informative text is a "must read" for everyone involved in the care and treatment of patients who are coping with the devastating consequences of TBI.
